The current implementation requires a <TX> in the macro for the <TIMER:nn> to be effective.

If you propose any changes please be sure that they are based on 3.22.0AN or later. Note that I have added the ability to delay execution of certain macro tags until the actual time of occurrence in the macro string.

Thanks. Apparently, it's OK but <TIMER> needs I think the macro tag <TX> is needed otherwise there is no repetition. Am I wrong ? Is it intended and if not should it be corrected, so that <TIMER> would repeat even if there is no transmission ?

I have the TIMER tag before the RX tag, not sure why I ever put it there
but it has worked fine for me even though it is described differently in
the manual :-)

Having said that, I have e-mailed with Dave extensively about problems I
had with the timer randomly stopping. Most evident while switching between
virtual screens in KDE at first, but that was fixed a long time ago. The
last time I had this problem I *think* I deleted my macro definition file
and rebuilt it from scratch and that fixed it that time.

For example, this macro does not work as expected:

<TX><IDLE:5>CQ CQ de<MYCALL> <MYCALL>  k<RX><TIMER:20>

Define repetition? Are you expecting the macro to repeat itself after
the 20 seconds?

Yes.

http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp-3.22/Macros.html

<TX><IDLE:5>CQ CQ de<MYCALL> <MYCALL>  k<RX><TIMER:20>

*will enable the PTT
*cause 5 seconds of idle signal
*send the CQ CQ de W1HKJ W1HKJ k
*disable PTT
*and count down 20 seconds before repeating the macro

I'll investigate more but could you please confirm that this macro
should automatically restart every 20 seconds? Thanks
